    My worry is if lawwell is announced a non executive director in the coming weeks and will still be about Celtic park and that's a big No No for me .

    Nothing will change if that is the case.
    Which has been a rumour already and is very very worrying.

    That's the Celtic board for you as they don't like change and that's why this board needs to go .

    Wasn’t impressed with him at all in the media presser but thought he came across very well in the fan media one.

    Seen someone mention during the fan presser on Twitter he had visited Sevilla, Brentford and Salzburg but they seem to have edited out the video.

    He dodged to answer the question about lawwells future which is setting alarm bells for me and still think lawwell will be hanging about in some capacity .

    Really don't give a * how he comes across in pressers, how he looks or what his accent is.. As long as he does his job and backs the manager thats all that matters..

    Thought he did fine in the media press conference but did excellent in the fan conference. Seemed alot more comfortable and gave long and as detailed answers as he could, I'm excited with the way he was constantly talking about taking in ideas on how to improve from other clubs like you mentioned and even sports when he mentioned the NFL.

    Said he doubled their revenue in 5 years (something like that), was instrumental in setting up a cross border league (interesting) and fan engagement was a big part of his focus.

    Said there is still big scope for us to expand our revenue. Hopefully that means he understands that success brings increased revenue and that sometimes you need to take measured risks financially to reap the rewards, as seen during Brendan’s time when we almost doubled our income.

    I like what i see from Dom, strikes me as someone with a good work ethic and will do his best to continually improve Celtic, Lawwell on the other hand was very lazy and was happy with the bare minimum. You can tell from their appearance, Lawwell looks like he doesn’t get off the couch much where as Dom looks like he looks after himself.

    One thing i find interesting is he seems convincing when he says Ange was his man and he knew of him from his time in Japan ect, i wonder if he deliberately pushed Howe away?

    People wanted a modern and fresh CEO as Lawell had become stale. Thats pretty much what we've got with Dom. Lawell and McKay are two very different people. McKay can certainly talk a good game, just like Big Ange time will tell if he delivers.

    Come across well but actions are needed not words. Time will tell on that so I hope he’s as honourable as he makes out.

    Have to say he must be the poshest * at CP since Armstrong left lol

    He was alright to be fair..

    Did give a few politician type answer's but that's to be expected, spoke fairly well all in all..

    I did like Ange's wee Nakamura joke to him. They do seem quite comfortable and relaxed together which is important..

    My uncle is into his rugby and he speaks very highly of him. Says he transformed it from an amateurish type level.

    Any ceo you interview is likely to be cleverly ambiguous in what they say for the most part.

    Question is, in some answers he said enough to show he might be a bit looser with purse strings, but even as CEO, with someone like DD as majority shareholder, how much persuading is going to be able to do with DD?

    I'm not expecting anything to change for a good few years which is depressing
